They want to play 10.00 poker, this apparently is not high risk enough for you so thus it is a waste of time. They still wish to hang out and do things on the weekend yet again it is not expensive enough for you to do so.

I really think in reality you need to evaluate what happened to you and not them. Somewhere along the lines it seems you let money become more important than friendship. For example playing poker with your friends is not about making money or how much your betting per hand. It is about hanging out with them while sitting around a table busting each others balls and having fun. It is not about how much you walk away with or loose that night.

It is your life of course do as you please.
